Violinist at Your Wedding Ceremony

The Prelude – As guests arrive, the wedding violinist’s music subtly establishes the magical tone of the dayThe Processional – The highlight: the bride’s entrance, beautifully underscored with some music she has picked out herselfSigning The Register – The wedding violinist can entertain the guests or provide a gentle musical background, if you preferThe Recessional – As the wedding party and guests depart, this can be anything from classical to Take That – “Greatest Day” is a popular favourite

Violinist for Your Wedding Reception

Drinks Reception – A mixture of classical and more up-to-date music as bride and groom welcome their guestsWedding Breakfast – As the wedding party and their guests sit down to eat, the wedding violinist entertains you with some soft background music, not stifling conversation but still significant enough to entertain. Feel free to tell the violinist what to play – on the spur of the moment if necessary!

Violinist Simon Jordan

Simon Jordan started playing the violin at age 5, and by age 14 had already passed the ultimate violin exam – ABRSM Grade 8 – and passed it with a distinction mark. At age 13 Simon gave his first violin recital (a sell-out) and at age 17 was gigging with bands in London, playing jazz at the Royal Festival Hall, and performing with legendary gypsy bands behind the Iron Curtain in Hungary and the former Czechoslovakia.

You may want Simon to play solo violin at your wedding – or to perform with a pianist. His regular performing partners are pianists Jon Spanyol, Stuart Bonner and Martyn Croston. The combination of violin and piano is much more versatile than a string quartet and will work better than a solo violin if you require a musical performance for a long period of time. Simon is also a pianist – he can provide and bring his own piano; and also amplification for both violin and piano, if the wedding or the venue is big enough!

Whatever you choose, Simon will work with you or to your brief to compile a carefully crafted programme of music, making his own arrangements of music weeks before the event. Contact Simon now for a competitive quote – happiness is guaranteed!

Simon wowed us – at the wedding with his mesmerising performance, and during the planning, with his meticulous attention to detail. You couldn’t meet a friendlier, more musical or more organised performer. Stefan Michaelson The Olde Bell, July 2017
